We currently have seven opened bugs for Xwayland. I've managed to send 
patches for these on the last few days:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55259
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53679
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54598

they are relatively simple fix and, Kristian, I see that you acked some 
but didn't pull yet, so to ease your job you might want to check the 
branch "for-kristian", on my fd.o tree. Thanks.

The other fours bugs hopefully got fixed on my "xwm-client" working branch:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54691
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54604
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54603
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54599

they're related with the window position and aspects of resizing that 
changed considerably with the new xwayland protocol. Therefore I don't 
think makes sense to solve those on master as well now. Are we okay?


Have an amazing weekend all!
